Coastal Expeditions Presents: Overnight Kayak Camping in the Lowcountry

• Group size30 people

Join Coastal Expeditions for an inspiring and practical look at overnight kayak camping in the Lowcountry, where winding tidal creeks, quiet salt marshes, and remote barrier islands create some of the most rewarding paddling adventures on the East Coast. You’ll explore standout destinations known for their wildlife, dark skies, and sense of true escape, from sheltered blackwater routes to coastal campsites only accessible by boat. Learn how to plan and pack for multi-day kayak trips, what gear and food systems work best in a coastal environment, and how to travel lightly while caring for these fragile places. Whether you’re new to kayak camping or ready to expand your confidence and range, this session will help you feel prepared to launch, explore, and camp with intention in the Lowcountry’s wild places. About our speaker: Jackie Kelsey is a backcountry guide with Coastal Expeditions and brings years of experience leading overnight kayak trips throughout the Lowcountry. Jackie is passionate about helping people build the skills and confidence to explore coastal wilderness responsibly while supporting access to the outdoors through Coastal Expeditions’ education and community programs.
